The Balancing of The Roles of Mom and Dad in the Home
Are the expressions of males and females changing in the home?
If you are like me, getting a little long in the tooth, so to say, the changes in the way males and females interact and act has changed drastically!
This is a good thing!
What’s a good example?
In recent years, there was a television program about a Nanny who made house calls. Her purpose was to help the family discover why their family situation was dysfunctional.
99% of the time when she entered the home, Mom was busy trying to maintain peace with her kids while cleaning the house, etc.
What was Dad doing? He was in the bedroom lying on the bed reading comic books!
This is the old belief system about the family structure. It was mom’s job to maintain and manage life at home. Dad’s sole purpose was to bring home the bacon. In a really evolved home at that time, Dad might take out the garbage occasionally.
How has this changed?
In today’s young people, it is different. Both Mom and Dad are working while the kids are often shuffled off to retired family members or daycare.
This makes the balance of power more equal. Therefore Dad does not hide in the bedroom when he gets home, and Mom does not run the house on her own. Both adults participate in every aspect of their lives.
How does this change the expression of these people?
It is very evident, that Mom is more empowered and has a recognized voice in the family campaign. Dad is no longer “the boss” but a partner who willingly participates in an equal stance with his wife.
Is this good?
This is not good! It is excellent! This change gives the adults a more real perspective of their lives. They do not have to play the old traditional roles that prevented them from expressing themselves in their truth. It also increases the involvement of both the man and the woman in the development of their children. With the increase in involvement with man, children become more balanced as human expressions.
Under the old system, the male and female children often resisted being treated in the traditional roles unconsciously. This caused resistance that fostered rivalry between the sexes.
Children need input from both Mom and Dad in order to be balanced in their unique expression. This change leads to healthier adults in later years which eventually, rewrites the DNA that is the basis for the rules of engagement in the home.
Is this good for society as a whole?
This one change is forming the basis for the new expression of how human beings express and interact with each other. It is essential that moving forward, every individual, whether male or female, be taught to express themselves in their own truth and in their own power. Many of the social issues that plague society today will soon become a past memory just because of this one change!
